BC Band headed to Alamodome

“They've done it again and are headed to the State Competition,” stated LK Anderson Photography’s Facebook page about Bridge City High School’s advancement to the UIL State marching competition. The photography studio shot the official group photo of the band.

Bridge City came in 3rd place at the UIL Area Marching Contest, which was held on Nov. 2 in Lindale. That entitles them to compete in the Alamodome this weekend in San Antonio.

“The band has demonstrated exceptional skill, precision, and dedication, embodying the spirit of excellence that Bridge City is known for,” stated an earlier release from the school.

The band’s success is guided by the leadership of the band director Tami Goss and its drum majors: Mallory Bailey, Evan Hull, Gracin Weldon and Emily Jones.

The Band Boosters sold t-shirts online through Tuesday morning for family and friends to wear at the competition in support and are selling pink and purple pom poms for $10.

They held an informational meeting Tuesday after the press deadline to disseminate information on the travel plans.

The band ranked 3rd out of 24 bands in the Area competition. This is their fifth year in a row to advance to UIL State Marching Band Competition.

“The journey to this point has been nothing short of extraordinary, with countless hours of hard work, rehearsals, and teamwork contributing to their success. The Cardinal Marching Band’s unwavering commitment to their craft continues to inspire pride within the community,” stated the school representative after their regional win. “Let’s cheer them on as they represent Bridge City with the same passion and energy that earned them this prestigious achievement.”

“All their hard work, dedication, and talent have paid off, and we couldn't be more proud,” said Anderson. “Go show them what BCHS is made of!”

The Record Newspapers wishes BCHS Cardinal Marching Band the best of luck in San Antonio this weekend.
